Laura Thompson I don’t think any Jazz fan likes seeing a loss to the Lakers, but there were some very encouraging moments from last night’s game. 1. The asterisk. Though technically a loss, I think this game has an asterisk next to the...

Andy Larsen 1. Wow, Jazz fans are incredible. Hours before the event began, people began lining up outside the doors of EnergySolutions Arena en masse for the Jazz’s open summer league practice. As the doors opened at 6 PM, 1 hour...

Andy Larsen 1. The Jazz had two big stretches in which they just couldn’t score that cost them the game. The first was a 19-2 Lakers run at the end of the first half in just 3:40 of game time. Their offensive performance in those...
